 Description: 
- s390 atomic futex crash
+ The (1) __futex_atomic_op and (2) futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic functions in
+ Linux kernel 2.6.17-rc4 to 2.6.18-rc2 performs the atomic futex operation
+ with user space addresses instead of kernel space addresses, which allows
+ local users to cause a denial of service (crash).
